ABSTRACTS Drawing on fieldwork at travelling fairs in England, this article uses a number of concepts—crowd crystals, involvement contours, cacophony, intercalary elements—to read the heterogeneous interrelationships between fair-going crowd dynamics and fairground architecture. The article notes an apparent lack of interest in both these entities (from crowd theory and architectural theory, respectively); establishing an historiographical account of this (lack of) interest, it situates fairground crowds within and against crowd behaviour, and crowd theory more generally, and draws on assemblage theory to develop an account of the fair-going crowd, and fairground architecture, that is responsive to its particular characteristics.

游乐场建筑和人群

摘要本文借鉴在英国旅游博览会上的实地考察，使用了许多概念——人群水晶、参与轮廓、杂音、插入元素——来解读公平人群动态与游乐场建筑之间的异质相互关系。文章指出对这两个实体明显缺乏兴趣（分别来自人群理论和建筑理论）；建立对这种（缺乏）兴趣的历史学描述，它将游乐场人群置于人群行为之内并反对人群行为和更普遍的人群理论，并利用组合理论来发展对公平活动人群和游乐场建筑的描述，即响应其特定的特性。
